"Tom and his crew rebuilt our composite deck in the June-July 2018 time frame. We could not be happier with the job. The Built To Last crew was very professional and definitely went the extra mile to ensure that the rebuilt deck was better than new. Everything is very secure and tight. During the construction, Tom made several suggestions to keep the price down while not compromising quality and our satisfaction. Tom provided price transparencies for all materials. Greatly appreciated! We would definitely use Tom and his crew again. Highly recommend Built To Last Construction. Just as a note... this was a very large deck with a great deal of work."

"Craig and team did a full basement renovation for our house built in 1965. The results are spectacular! We had a great experience working with Craig and his team. The crew was friendly, timely, easy to work with, and patient with some of our change orders. Ultimately, we would work with Artistic Construction 10x over. We highly recommend their work."

"This guy Al Hobbs was so nice and great to talk to...
I Had a very old ugly faded large side door awning that prevented me from driving all the way back on the driveway into my garage if the vehicle was a very high SUV or Box truck..I thought it was heavy but it turns out that is was aluminum.... Al's Tool box was just stolen out of the back of his truck while he was at Home Depot so he didn't have the right socket to remove the lag bolts attaching the awning to the house..he was going to make a run the the nearest Hardware store to buy the correct socket....I offered my minuscule collection of ratchet sockets to use ....hopefully not offending Al....he gracefully accepted!!! I had the right socket to complete the project...It took all of 20 minutes...more or less...Next cane the dreaded Shrub Stump...I tried everything trying to cut the root ball and stump out with no success...Al bought his Sawzall and dug up some of the earth(dirt) and cut the complete Stump and Root ball out..he then re-covered the hole with the earth (dirt) 
this took all of 20 minutes more or less...I paid for 2 hours of labor...but it took Al only 40-50 minutes tops...
We spent the next Hour or so just talking and enjoying each others company...I had Al look at a few more projects I'm thinking about having done next spring and he gave me some great prices on the projects and great advice for the projects that he could not do..(which were very few)
Al is a great contractor and his honesty and friendliness is so refreshing....You will not go wrong if you hire Al for ANY project needed!!!

"Nosh is a superstar in my book! Extremely professional - when he says he will call or be someplace at a certain time, he will call or be there! Extremely conscientious - takes great pride in his work, wants you to be happy with the results of his work. Great disposition - seems to truly enjoy his work and it came through in all my dealings with him. I can not recommend Nosh for masonry work enough. Use with confidence.

"This was one of the most pleasantly surprising repairman episodes I have ever had. It started when I called the company and the person I talked to understood immediately what my problem was, and said he would have "Brian" out to fix it within 2 hours. Brian showed up right on time after giving me a call to say exactly when he would be coming. He assessed my situation, had a better idea than I did for what was needed, and he promptly set about fixing it. He explained everything as he went along, taking pride in what he was doing. When he finished that, he did a complete inspection of my garage door operations, explaining to me what he was looking for. He sprayed things that needed it, and explained to me what to spray, and which places should get silicone spray and which WD 40. The work was guaranteed. The bill was very fair, and my $10 off coupon was cheerfully accepted."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

The timeline to build your barn will depend on the barn type and the company you hire. A pole barn may take six weeks or so, while a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn can take four months or longer. Building a barndominium takes the longest because you are essentially building a new home. You can expect barndominiums to take six months or longer to build.

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

A simple A-frame chicken coop can take as little as three hours to build, but a more substantial all-in-one coop to house a large flock can take four or five days to build. Consult a local handyperson or custom coop builder for a time estimate based on the specific details of your project.
